12 Black Myth: Wukong Tricks You Need to Know Before Playing
Becoming the monkey king.
Black Myth: Wukong only pretends to be a superficial action game, where the hero dashingly destroys mobs and occasionally sweats over bosses. In fact, the game is full of tricks – if you figure them out in advance, you will save a lot of nerves.
Look for secret locations
Almost all chapters have secret locations with additional bosses and legendary artifacts. To find them, you just need to be attentive. For example, in the first chapter, just ring three bells. They are all near the story bosses.
📌 Why ring bells and where to find them in Black Myth: Wukong?
Listen to NPCs
Friendly characters can be found in the locations. Be sure to listen to their requests. Take, for example, a drunken boar: he speaks in hints, but an attentive gamer will sober him up and feed him flowers – and thus find a giant scarab. For defeating him, they give an artifact that will weaken the boss of the second chapter.
Return to the artisans from the completed locations
Important merchants and artisans are usually located where you first met them. Periodically return and use their services. To upgrade the flask, go to the monkey from the first chapter. For heavenly medicines – to the fox from the second.
Discover the heavenly medicines
In the second chapter, you will meet a fox who complains about an angry toad. Kill the enemy and learn how to make medicine. After defeating the stone guard, return to the Temple of the Crouching Tiger and insert the mask into the monument in the center of the location. An underground passage will open, where you will meet the fox again. If you give him the Grains of Reason, you will receive heavenly medicines. They permanently pump up stats such as HP, mana, and defense.
Collect herbs
Herbs are scattered around the world. They are all useful for crafting medicines that increase damage, strengthen defense, and protect from the elements. Sometimes, instead of a plant, you will pull a monster out of the ground. This is good luck, because after the fight, more herbs will remain.
Take care of your medicines
Seeing a boss for the first time? Don’t buff your hero with medicine. If he’s weak, win without it. If he’s strong, medicine won’t save him. First, study the enemy and find your way to victory. And only then use consumables.
📌 Played Black Myth: Wukong. Great game, but not thrilled
Don’t be overwhelmed by the huge locations.
The game has huge levels where it’s easy to get lost. The desert from the second chapter is worth it: at first it’s linear, but then it splits into sweeping paths and shocks with its size. Don’t worry, you’ll soon discover convenient shortcuts, and the desert will become understandable.
Use transformation at the beginning of a boss fight
At the beginning of the game, you will defeat the fire mage and learn how to transform into him. The spirit has a separate health bar. When it runs out, you will become a monkey again. The ability recharges for a long time, so use it at the beginning of the boss fight. If the fight drags on, activate the spirit again and make life easier.
Combine freezing and doubles
After upgrading, frozen enemies take more damage. This is the perfect moment to summon doubles. No one interferes, health is not spent, and your blows to the helpless boss prolong their life. As a result, the villain does not have time to blink, and he already has a third of his HP.
Change your equipment more often
You shouldn’t run around locations in just armor. After all, in the first chapter you need protection from flames, and in the third – from frost. Consider these factors when choosing equipment, because even a small bonus will save your life. If you put on the whole set, you will get an additional perk.
Assemble a build to suit your style
Spirits and equipment have their own characteristics: some enhance defense, others – individual spells. If you are worried about defense, take equipment associated with the perk “Stone Wall”. In this case, the spell will recharge after taking a heal and will not require mana.
Choose a pair of spirits and upgrade
After defeating some bosses and special mobs, you can absorb their spirit. Defeated a stone wolf? Become one and ram the target. Smashed a frog? Hit everyone with a long tongue.
Test at least all the epic spirits and choose a couple of the best ones – then level them up at the workbench.
